Birthday spider

My habit is to take a low key approach to celebrating my birthday. I assume that people aren’t really interested.

That’s why I was surprised and really touched a few weeks ago when my team mates at work presented me with a birthday card signed by all and a massive cupcake.

Another pleasant surprise was the natural banana flavour of the icing, despite its artificial, almost glowing, yellowness.

    Joan,
    Happy Birthday! Why did you keep quiet about it??

    My birthday was at the end of September. I’m still surprised when people take an interest in my anniversaries :)

    It was a milestone birthday, though. I feel like I’m on the cusp of being a full adult.
